Lithium Hydroxide (LiOH) is a liquid chemical compound that is inorganic in nature. The chemical is watery-whitish in color and has a strong, pungent odor that is highly soluble in water and is hygroscopic. The chemical compound’s melting and boiling point measure around 462° C and 924° C, respectively. Moreover, the compound is also soluble […]
In Asia, Methyl Ethyl Ketone prices had a sluggish start in H1 2023 due to plummeting demands from paint and coating industries, compounded by weak feedstock butanol prices. The pandemic-induced lockdowns in China initially halted the industry, and even after reopening, consumer focus on necessities prolonged the revival. Global economic slowdown also contributed, leading to […]
Methyl Acrylate (C4H6O2) is a transparent and colourless acrylic acid ester and an enoate ester that has a liquid consistency with an unpleasant smell. By nature, it is volatile, and its vapour can irritate the respiratory system and eyes. It has little solubility in water but is completely soluble in esters, alcohols, and other organic […]
Methanol or methyl alcohol (CH3OH) is a compound that belongs to the group of alcohol. It comprises of a methyl group and a hydroxy group linked together. The destructive distillation of wood produces methanol. It is prepared by reacting carbon monoxide gas with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. An essential chemical for chemical […]
Paraformaldehyde is a compound that is obtained from the polymerization of formaldehyde. The compound is a stable white crystalline powder that has a characteristic odor of the monomeric formaldehyde compound. It is insoluble in the existing chemical solvents, whereas slightly soluble in water. The melting and boiling point of the compound measure around 120° C […]
Neopentyl Glycol (C5H12O2) is an organic, colorless, white, crystalline solid compound. It comprises 5 Carbon, 12 Hydrogen, and 2 Oxygen atoms. Formaldehyde and Isobutyraldehyde undergo aldol reactions on a large scale to produce Neopentyl Glycol industrially. It is also known as Dimethylolpropane, which is hygroscopic in nature.

In the first two quarters of 2023, Resorcinol prices faced diverse challenges across Asia, Europe, and North America. In Asia, factors such as high inventories, reduced manufacturing, and export rates, alongside Chinese government measures to combat economic downturn, led to a significant price decline. Europe witnessed an initial surge in Resorcinol prices driven by stable […]
LPG, or liquefied petroleum gas, is a liquid hydrocarbon mix which is composed of butene, butane, propene, and propane. It looks like a colourless gas with no odour and has an added smell which makes its leak noticeable. It is a non-renewable energy source that is obtained from natural gas and crude oil with applications […]
Low-Density Polyethylene is a semi-rigid variety of polyethylene which is made up of around 4000-40,000 carbon atoms arranged in short or long-chain like structures. It is produced via free radical polymerization process under high pressure and high temperature. LDPE has low crystallinity. Its melting point varies around 105° C- 115° C. The key property of […]
